Class::Methodmaker with forward methods

Tuppence has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Greetings Monks,

I am a $self that has a ->request, which is another object that has a ->client.

I am trying with Class::MethodMaker to make $self->client be $self->request->client

I have use Class::MethodMaker forward => [request => 'client'];

but when I try to call $self->client it says it cannot find the method in my package. Am I just horribly confused or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance for all help, I can't believe I'm here asking this..

Update:This is Class::MethodMaker version 1, version 2 is renamed to Class::MakeMethods

Update2:Problem solved. Reading of module source showed Class::MethodMaker docs are incorrect, it needs use Class::MethodMaker forward => [request => ['client']]

Are you using version 2.0 of Class::MethodMaker, or version 1? It's been overhauled recently and I'm not sure that the backwards-compatibility layer is complete...	[reply]
